Flashback video to when we all used dial-up internet

Didn't turn out quite like how they drew it up on the chalk board a decade ago.



I remember this video from when the internet just came out. That's right, let me repeat: when the internet just came out and we were all still using askjeeves as our search engine and my dad had a stack of the free AOL trial disks to dial-up and connect to the internet. Sometimes when I was fighting with my sister and I knew she was on the internet I would pick up the house phone because that would break the connection and she would have to spend the next 10 minutes logging back on so she could IM her friends. And then I picked up the phone again. Good times, good times. Stefan 1,154 - Danielle 0.
